This study of first and fifth year medical students found a general recognition among male and female students that gender affects future career choices and the ability to reach career goals. Females were seen as being disadvantaged both in terms of career choice and their ability to achieve career goals. These views are less abstract and more based upon the reality of personal experiences in clinical attachments among fifth year students. While both male and female students describe negative experiences of clinical training, female students were more likely to suffer discrimination because of their gender in certain specialties, such as surgery, and to be dissuaded from pursuing a career in that specialty. Despite the general awareness of the effects of gender in medicine this did not appear to have an effect upon personal career choice. However, some female students were considering career choices at an early stage in their career based on accommodating their future desire to have a family life. Over half of all male and female fifth year students reported that having time for their family was an important consideration in choosing a career.
这项针对一年级和五年级医学生的研究发现，男女生普遍认识到性别会影响未来的职业选择以及实现职业目标的能力。女生在职业选择及其实现职业目标的能力方面都被视为处于劣势。这些观点并非那么抽象，更多是基于五年级学生临床实习个人经历的现实情况。虽然男女生都描述了临床培训中的负面经历，但女生在某些专科（如外科）中因性别更有可能遭受歧视，并被劝阻不要从事该专科的职业。尽管人们普遍意识到性别在医学领域的影响，但这似乎并未对个人职业选择产生影响。然而，一些女生在职业生涯早期就基于适应未来拥有家庭生活的愿望来考虑职业选择。超过一半的五年级男女生都表示，有时间陪伴家人是选择职业时的一个重要考虑因素。
